I am here for Friends

About Me

Hmmm... I'm wading through my 30s with many children strapped to my arms and legs. They are, at times, the only things aiding my navigation through this quagmire that is life. I like to think I have a better life than most but it is certainly a work in progress. I enjoy spending my free(??) time with my kids, husband, and friends. I relax by crocheting, cooking, gardening, playing board games and of course book larnin'. My personality is um...a typical Aries. I'm rather brash, not very ladylike (I tried it once and it bit me in the butt) very loyal to my friends and family, and just as loyal to the Cubs! Right now I'm working for a financial institution, yay for money! HOWEVER..... My ultimate goal is to teach at a community college, preferably a class I develop about banned literature throughout history.

I'd like to meet:

Meat. HA! Actually, anyone who enjoys children, education, healthy debating and yardwork. I've got a TON of leaves calling your name...pop by and say hello!

Cowardice? Perhaps. Ambivalence? Never.

An open letter to a Dear Friend.Dear Friend,I have loved and respected you for so long. I have no excuse good enough for my absence, save for that I was attempting, in my feeble way, to for once not b...

Why is that for some, love is written in sand, and for others it is written is stone?

In 2004, after being dealt a devastating loss from which I have never truly recovered, I stumbled upon this lovely piece of work by the amazing Bishop TD Jakes.  As I am yet again struggling with...

I wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh...

I know, I'm shamelessly stealing from a Seether song, but don't most of my blog titles begin with song lyrics? (Besides I think the song is groovy!) I'm feeling overwhelmed.  Please, don't anyone...

Was it worth it yet?

We have all been involved in destructive relationships that we spend precious time trying to justify.  What on earth makes us think that we can help people who are hell-bent on ruining themselves...

Why Aramis Ramirez is my Hero.

We all know by now that the Cubs are trying to buy happiness (and don't you dare compare them to those dirty Yankees-sorry Danielle!) by signing Alfonso Soriano to one of the largest contracts in base...

I want to touch the light- the heat I see in your eyes....

I've had this on my mind for some time, but am only now getting around to actually putting it to fruition.  Are ambition, goals, tenacity, and perseverance good or bad?  Are they even the sa...

Full of sound and fury; signifying nothing.

I know, I know, I'm a dork...but if we all embraced our inner dork more often we'd all be much more satisfied! I am running around the mulberry bush that is my life-when I am in school I can't wait to...

Wisdom and Joy in unexpected places....

What a weekend!  It was actually fairly calm, save for my overactive mind giving myself grief over every little thing that doesn't go my way in my life, but I'll deal with these issues-in fact-I ...

In the words of Billy Joel.......

You may be right, I may be crazy-but it JUST may be a lunatic you're looking for...... I have heard that song more than 10 times this week-and now it's stuck in my head.  Karma?  Foreshadowi...

A renewed spirit

Hello and good morning to all of you!  I had a fantastic trip to San Antonio; (yes I saw the Alamo) it was just what I needed to cleanse my soul and purge myself of the doubts that have been plag...
